a little more specific in your charges they would have more telling effect. In fact the sentence is a lit- tic far-fetched, when 1t :s remem- bured that our officials have scarce ly got warm in their seats as vet. It would be difficult matter to say whether they would be hard to unseat or not. The Critic is as fickle as any coy maiden of sixteen. 4 few short months ago 1t was la- boring might and main for the election Of these "thimble-riggers. What has occurred to bring about such wonderful change in so short time? That paper secured the printing of the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors, and the privilege of printing at the head of it's columns, in large black type, official paper of Apache county" There must be very large sized "colored man" in the wood pile, somewhere.

 . That ancient teapot ought to have been discarded when the new Su- pervisors set down to the public table-phew How 1t s,nells- phc-c-ugh l-Critic.
 Come, Colonel, tell us candidly what the Supervisors did to offend your august majesty. Is it because they arc dctcrmind to act at all times and under all circumstances strictly within the law. and are in- disposed to do anything outside of that to foster and bolster up the Critic, that you arc so sore? Two of them arc your neighbors. You urged their election on the ground that the county government needed reforming. Now, that you find they are not pliant tools in your hands, you begin to sneer, snarl and snap. What is the true cause of your change Of base? Can you, or will you, tell.
The St. Johns herald., 1887-01-27

THE present legislators represent ing Apache county in the Four tcenth Legislative Assembly are not presenting the views of the people at large in their endeavors to split Apache county, if such they are in favor of.
 Thcso Legislators were elected by the people to represent them in the Territorial Legislature, and were not elected or voted for to represent any particular clan or sect, who are dissatisfied because they can not have every thing their own way. Had this platform been established and laid before the people prior to Nov. 2, 1886, it is safe to say the county would have had other rep resentativcs. Instead of this the matter has been concealed and on- ly revealed to a few, probably those gloating over the prospects of an office in the new county. The ap- parent secrecy of this matter beto- kens dishonesty, and cannot be- speak the views of the people The views of the people at large do not come crouched in secresy to be sprung when the trap is fixed, but are manifested in public demands. AS you go, gentlemen, all from the same section of tho county, you must remember your section alone is not all to be represented. You represent the county, and the inter- ests of all are demanded to be stu died. The object set forth as the reason why Apache county should be divided is not in harmony with common sense. Therc is no douot the county is large-large enough to make state, if it be looked at geographically only, but square miles do not make . county or q state. if they did Yavapai county could enter the sistcrhood by being nearly as large as the State of Nsw York, and Apache county likewise by being nearly as large as Missis- sippi, while both of these counties combined have not the assessable property or population found in the one little town of New York Poughkeepsie.
 Population and wealth alone make a county, and is the basis, if there be a basis upon which the division of a county should rest. New counties are created and made when they have within themselves
The St. Johns herald., 1887-01-27

TIE last issue of the Critic is full of bald-headed assertions as to the division of the county, but fails to give figures as to how the two counties can be run as cheap as one, or what the rate of taxation will be in the new county, if divi- dcd on the proposed line. Brother Carr in a long and labored article on the game subject, is guilty of tho same disregard as to facts and figures, but is plcthoric ill asser- tions and intimatcd promises of what will be done when Winslow becomes the scat of government for the new county. It is an easy mat ter to make assertions, but 1t is of ten very difficult matter to prove them afterward. The people do not want assertions, unless they can be backed hy figures, on such mo- mentous questions-they want facts and nothing short will satisfy them. These the HERALD has given and they have not been contradicted CT controverted. Come, gentlemen, you are not addressing yourselves on this matter to children, but to men of reason and intelligence, and you will have to proceed in di'- ferent manner, if you hope to con vince and win them over to your way of thinking.
The St. Johns herald., 1887-01-27

 called thieves-a very grateful re- ward. 1.-The railroad case, one of the most vital and important the county has had yet to handle, and so considered by the Board, caused them, TO doubt, to use the precau- ton to have sufficient counsel to defend the county's claim; had they not done so, and the county had lost the case, then they would have been d-d again for not pro- viding additional help or counsel to assist the District Attorney.
The St. Johns herald., 1887-01-27

sufficient population and wealth to maintain them, and not because or when there Is a few miles of desert land to give for the purpose, wealth and population then are the stand ard Of a county and not square miles. These innunerable square miles of vacant lots and sage brush add but little to the treasurer's till, if these were better tax payers, we might be enabled to stand the di- vision, but as they are not, We can not endure it.
 4 county whose assessed vnlua- ton is less than $50 per square mile of territory is scarcely in a position 10 give half of her re- sources to the making of an addi- tional county, unless her domain be- unlimited. A consolidation rather than organization would look better, as far as counties are concerned, at present, in Arizon- d consolidation into one of sll the counties Of the Territory would hardly result in the making of one respectable county.
The St. Johns herald., 1887-01-27

ONE petition alone from Snow flake, Taylor and vicinity, and con- taining less than twenty-five names, as certified to by County Treasurer Leseuer q few days since, repre- scented over Sl2o,000 in taxable property; and another petition from Woodruff and vicinity south, including g portion of St. Johns, also certified to by Treasurer Le- scuer, represented taxable property to the tune ot $190,0oo. These two petitions alone represent nearly one-third of the taxable property of Apache county, excluding the railroad; three-fourths of this amount coming fram taxpayers in the proposed new county, praying and protesting against any division being made in Apache county. Thus it would seem that our fellow tax payers across the line are not very anxious in the splitting scheme, at least taxpayers over there repre- ssnting over $20o,O0o in assessabIe property intend to do everything in their power to defeat any measures in favor of division of the coun- ty. Taxpayers must he listened to, and gentlemen, sssessablc prop erty is what counts on petitions.
The St. Johns herald., 1887-01-27
